Hey everybody! I own a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. It is fully optioned and I think it is the special performance package. It comes with two LSDs, sport tuned suspension, slotted rotors all around and even 2 piston calipers for each wheel. Now that worries me because I think I might've messed something up!
Anyways, I went for a test drive about an hour ago in empty streets in the middle of the night. I'm learning how to drive stick but I am getting better at it.
I made it all the way to third and then it made this sudden chatter/clunking noise. It was pretty loud yet violent. Pushed the clutch pedal all the way in and it still did it. The whole car vibrated!
Reverse, 1st and 2nd are perfect. From neutral, all gears are perfect if I select each, one at a time. When I drive in a straight line, it only seems to be third that makes that noise.
What could I be doing wrong? The GSX is totally stock, BTW. It also has 91K on it.
